Reliable Underwater Inspection for Critical Energy Assets
IXAR Robotic Solutions delivers advanced robotic inspection technologies for the energy sector, utilizing Underwater ROVs and Magnetic Crawlers to inspect critical infrastructure safely and efficiently.
Inspecting Energy Infrastructure
From oil & gas facilities and hydropower plants to offshore wind farms and nuclear power plants, our solutions provide accurate inspection data, reduce operational risks, minimize downtime, and support informed asset integrity decisions. Our inspection solutions can also be integrated with a wide range of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods, delivering comprehensive asset condition assessments while extending the service life of critical infrastructure.
How IXAR Solves Energy Challenges
We deploy advanced Underwater ROVs and Magnetic Crawlers equipped with high-definition visual cameras, advanced lighting systems, and NDT packages. This allows for structural, weld, and thickness inspections in high-risk, low-visibility, or confined spaces without requiring dewatering or manual entry.
Dedicated Energy Application Areas
Oil & Gas
The oil and gas industry operates in hazardous, high-risk environments where safety, reliability, and uninterrupted production are critical. IXAR Robotic Solutions deploys advanced Underwater ROVs and Magnetic Crawlers to inspect storage tanks, cooling water systems, offshore structures, pipelines, intake basins, and other critical assets without exposing personnel to confined spaces or hazardous underwater conditions. Our robotic platforms perform high-resolution visual inspections and various NDT-supported evaluations while eliminating the need for dewatering or manual entry.
Hydro Dam
Hydropower facilities require periodic inspection of submerged and hard-to-access structures to ensure safe and efficient operation. Our solutions utilize advanced Underwater ROVs to inspect dams, intake structures, penstocks, spillways, and reservoirs without requiring direct human intervention or critical diving operations.
Offshore Wind
IXAR Robotic Solutions deploys Underwater ROVs to inspect monopile foundations, transition pieces, subsea cables, offshore platforms, and other critical infrastructure without interrupting operations. Our robotic systems perform high-resolution visual inspections while safely accessing underwater locations.
Nuclear
Nuclear facilities demand the highest standards of safety, precision, and regulatory compliance during inspection and maintenance activities. We provide robotic inspection technologies capable of operating in confined, submerged, and hazardous environments where human access is restricted or undesirable.
Energy Case Studies & Field Deployments
Cooling Tower Sump Inspection
Cooling tower sumps are confined underwater environments where conventional inspection methods often involve significant safety risks and operational challenges. Draining sumps causes massive refinery downtime costing millions, while manual diver entry is hazardous due to chemical presence and active suction.
Eddy Current Test Underwater
Subsea weld joint inspection on offshore platforms requires detecting micro-cracks beneath painted or corroded coatings without scraping off protective coatings.
PSP Inspection
Pumped Storage Projects (PSP) have deep water shafts, high pressure intake tunnels, and concrete penstocks operating under extreme hydraulic heads inaccessible to human divers.
Tank Inspection Using Crawler
Inspecting massive fuel storage tanks requires building scaffolding, removing protective coatings, and sending climbing crews to dangerous heights.
